The Outsourcing Option for Product Design
Your idea for a new product design has the entire company excited. Like most companies, your biggest challenge in developing a new product may be prioritizing the project and the resources available to work on it. You and the entire team are already at capacity developing multiple products. Add to that, your sales and marketing group want the new product ready now.
The question is, how can you get the product designed and developed within the tight time-line? Everyone on your team is already swamped and working long hours. You need more people on the team, but you know hiring a new employee will take too long. Should you consider outsourcing the product design?
Efficiently Expand Capacity
Reaching outside your existing talent pool and partnering with an outside firm for design work will efficiently expand your capacity. Even if you had time to hire someone, you won’t know immediately if that person is the right person for the job. At the end of the project, you are also left wondering if you can keep the person busy or if you must let him go.
When you outsource your design work to an established product development company you receive huge benefits.
You gain access to more than one designer or engineer.
You benefit from adding people to your team with a lot of experience.
When the project is over, you “let the company go” until you need them again.
Outsourcing allows you to expand on-demand. Experienced designers are ready when you have work and remain available even when you do not.
Experience, Experience, Experience
Speaking of experience, the outsource company you work with on your designs will likely have a strong portfolio with plenty of experience and training. For you, this means your ideas are in good hands. They have likely designed hundreds or even thousands of products. While completing those designs, they have made many connections in the product development industry. Not only do you gain access to their experience, you open doors to their entire network.
Fresh Set of Eyes
Have you ever been in a situation where you were struggling with one aspect of a product design? Then, you got together with someone and before you were done explaining your challenge you found the solution. That happens all the time when companies hire an outsourced product development company. The people from outside instantly affect the product design because they bring a fresh perspective. They may take a new approach or their background and expertise may allow them to look at the design in a different way.
